So by not fully implemented, you mean we don't include all of bouncycastle. true, we only include a subset of algorithms, but with a set comparable to the reference implementation, so I typically haven't had complaints.
as far as updating, I have typically been updating to new releases as they come out. probably this doesn't matter to most users, because we don't make the bouncycastle API available since it does not intend to be backward compatible over time. the implementations are available via the java.security, javax.crypto, etc APIs. if you do need to access things unavailable via this mechanism, then bundling SpongyCastle may be the way to go. I think someone who wants to encrypt and decrypt a string with a common algorithm will find what they need. If not, feel free to file an issue and let me know. -bri On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 5:06 AM, Lucas Palma <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, but it's not fully implemented, nor updated... > > As seen on this issue: > http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3280 > > -- > Lucas Palma > > > > *"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we > created them." > * > *Albert Einstein* > > > > On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 8:13 AM, Earlence <[email protected]> wrote: > >> ummm...android uses bouncy castle internally. >> >> -Earlence >> >> On Jun 12, 6:41 pm, Lucas Palma <[email protected]> wrote: >> > You could also use the Spongy Castle library, it's the Android port for >> the >> > Bouncy Castle... >> > >> > -- >> > Lucas Palma >> > >> > *"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we >> > created them." >> > * >> > *Albert Einstein* >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 1:07 PM, Brian Carlstrom <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > > Using Cipher >> > >http://developer.android.com/reference/javax/crypto/Cipher.html, >> > > CipherInputStream, CipherOutputStream?
